  1. The city would save a lot of good people from grief if they would remove every basketball hoop n backboard in chgo.
    Maybe then the blacks would go to the library or go find a job.

  2. I agree, take down the hoops and convert the courts to shuffleboard courts. Maybe also add some Bocce Ball courts. I wonder if Rev. Jackson would claim discrimination.

  3. Anon at 12:44, believe me THEY ARE AT THE LIBRARY. The Harold Washington library smells like a zoo and the third floor is full of losers looking at porn on the magic ju-ju boxes.

    1. Pervert whites stinking it up seeing which child they can get while playing with themselves

  4. I was wondering who keeps checking out the Advanced Calculus and Partial Differential Equation books at the Harold Washington Library.

  5. Take down the basketball hoops and I wish that all the community centers like the one on Howard would be demolished too. Blacks don't do anything at these places but loiter ( which they are experts at) and cause fights and shootings.

  6. Hah - wont work.
    Ald Cappleman had the hoops removed from the Broncho Billy playlot in Uptown but the blacks complained to the Park District and they were replaced. True story!

    Cappleman was responding to the presence of urban blacks playing their national pastime at a childrens playlot.

  7. Even better idea: How about make the basketball courts out of radioactive waste.

  8. Why take down hoops? Not only blacks enjoy basketball, but other races, too. In fact, where I go play basketball, we're lucky to have 50% of the courts occupied by blacks; on most days, it's between 10%-25%. These types of incidents happen only once in a while. I've personally never seen a conflict on my park's courts. Sorry, but no hoops would cause boredom and grief for people like me, in my opinion.
